Analysis of Your Voice Explodes
Listen your way out of the problem,
when language goes awry
Each word that’s heard, a fuse unlit,
whose primer never lies
To think the pieces wholly,
as new structure comes in view
With time and space in servitude
—your voice explodes anew
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)
